Felicity nods. "That's me... I'm sorry to say I don't remember your name." Now the accent and face seem familiar, though. "Is it... Mary?"

Margaret, *Maggie nods. The two names are all but interchangable in her time. She offers a smile.* Though most e'eryone here calls me Maggie.

"Maggie! Now I remember. Sorry. I was close, though." She smiles back. "I just find it hard to keep track of people here for some reason. You'd think it'd be easier, what with everyone looking so different...." she shrugged.
"So, how've you been?"

'Tis alright, *Maggie assures her amiably* I daresay it takes some time te get used te e'erything and e'eryone here ... *She recalls the weapon pulled on her during thier first meeting and then adds, a bit sheepishly* ..if one e'er really can at all.
I am well, though, I thank ye. I hope ye have been, also?

"I'm alright. I haven't heard from anyone I don't want to hear from, which is always nice." She shrugs indifferently again. "But I don't think I'll ever get used to this place. It just randomly picks when to pull you in, doesn't it? We get no say?"

*Maggie tilts her head, not quite sure what to make of Felicity's first statement, but then nods* Aye, there doesna seem te be much reason to it ... at least, none that any o'us have managed te make any sense of.
We can leave now, though, when we choose. *she motions toward the keys hanging by the door* And Bard seems te be able te control his coming and going sometimes, though 'twas only after Tavin taught him how. But I dinna know that any of the rest o'us might be capable of that.

"Huh. I certainly can't see any reason to it." She looks at the key rack and nods. "Gunsinger told me about that... I've only ever used it once, though; usually I just disappear again before I think of going out the door."
"How long have you been coming here? Is this something that's going to be happening the rest of my life?"

'Tis been . . *Maggie thinks for a moment* Heavens, near on two years in my time, since first I came here.
*She rests her hand against one of the tables and looks down at it pensively* I confess ... 'twould be hard te imagine my life without this place, now ...

Felicity looks at the table thoughtfully, beginning to imagine future life with the Brink, rather than without. "Ah. Well, I only ask because I can see it being both helpful and inconvenient at times."

*Maggie hesitates a moment and then nods again* I suppose 'tis both, at that .. *she wonders inwardly how much Felicity may have been told about the dangers of the Brink. Even though she knows everyone deserves fair warning, it's never been an easy subject for her to broach*

"I guess...." She could imagine several scenarios in which fading into the Brink would be decidedly bad, and another few in which it could provide... well, more time. To think, or come up with a plan, or something of that nature. Time was always a good thing to have."But since you go right back to the moment you came in, it doesn't really affect the outside world all that much, does it?"

"In what sense, then?" Felicity asks, raising an eyebrow slightly.

**Enter Luke**
*Luke appears dressed in a jeans and t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. He has a pencil resting on his ear. He's sitting at one of the tables, looking over papers.*
*He looks up when he sees where he is. He smiles at Maggie and ... a girl he hasn't seen in the Brink before.* Hey, everybody...
